The Chinese Empress. Pas.ime,

The empress regent of China is one
of the most remarkable women of the
age. Not content with directing the in
tricate policy of the most populous en-
pire in the world with wonderful clever
ness and sagacity, she has now entered
the ranks of competitors for the light
weight championship of the Celestial EN-
pire. Attired In sort OF blOOmer COS
tune, she takes daily lessons In boxing
from an old eunuch. Her appearance at
the age of 80, In short skirt, hitting out
at her venerable preceptOr, and OCCASION
ally receiving punishment herself, must
be comical to the Last degree, and the re-
ports on the matter form the subject of a
most disrespectful merriment ON the part
of the almond eyed denizens of the Chi
neSe metropolis The empress regent
was concubine Of the Emperor Hen
Flung, on whose death she was appointed
to act as cO-regent with the dowager en-
press during the minority of her SON, the
late Emperor Tung-Chi.
With unusual ability she has guided
the policy of the empire through the
trOublOus times which have resulted
from the opening up of the country to
foreign trade, and has so conducted
affairs as 70 have brought the nation to
an infinitely higher degree of prosperity
and tranquility than It enjoyed when she
took up the reins.-Hong Kong Times.

INC Rou,ter and m. D-,n1.-

With few exceptions the steamboat
roustabout is fond of whisky and viii
take great chances to satisfy his cravings
for the fire water. When considerable
whisky used to come around from Ken
lucky by the water route the deck hands
devised various ways to tap the barrels.
One of the principal plans was to force
the hoops slightly from their position,
then gimblet would soon make an OPEN
ing. In this straw would be inserted
and the roustr would soon be able to
satisfy his thirst. The opening would be
plugged up, the hoop placed in its original
position, and no one would be the wiser.
It was long time before the scheme was
detected, and then only by the fact that
some of the rousters went too far by
taking it out in quantities to sell to some
of the levee saloons. Globe Democrat.

No Inspiration of the Bottle.

Mr.. Grafton to the writer, 81 once vent
ured to say, Read, did you take nothing
but a pot of black tea into your room
when you invoked the muse for .'Sheri-

Piscid, unexpected manner, he said: i
took nothing else but that. Let me con-
fess to you a fact: I can do nothing with
the pen unless am clear headed. /
know, he continued, that poem, with its
faults, came from no inspiration of the
bottle. would like, however, to have
corrected some of those faults. but BayarI
TAYLOR advised me not to allow the least
ch4nge or emendation, but to let it stand
as written. The wisdom of this advice
insured its acceptance, and, If / mistake
not, it now stands word for word as the
muse gave it, nothing to add or subtract.
Mr.. Read also said this to me: sThey
may talk what they choose about Byron.
Burns, Poe and others writing so finely
under the influence of drink, but don't
believe word Of it. If the tongue does

running about year ahead, while the
brokers shout their bids or asking prices,

storm frUm his position ON the rostrum is

ally a dispute arises among the brokers
